AbstractRecently, we have parametrized Sutton-Chen type empirical many body force fields for FCC transition metals to study the thermodynamic, mechanical, transport and phase behavior of metals and their alloys. We have utilized these potentials in lattice dynamics calculations and molecular dynamics simulations to describe the structure, thermodynamic, mechanical and transport properties of pure metals and binary alloys in solid, liquid and glass phases. Here, we will describe these applications: mechanical properties of binary alloys (Pt - Rh) and viscosity of a binary alloy, (Au - Cu), as a function of composition, temperature, and shear rate, crystal-liquid, liquid-crystal phase transformation in (Ni - Cu), liquid to glass transformation in a model glass former, (Ag - Cu).

Ethylene glycol based nanofluids containing MgO nanoparticles (MgO-EG) were prepared, and the transport properties including thermal conductivity and viscosity were measured. The results show that the thermal conductivity of MgO-EG nanofluid depends strongly on particle concentration, and it increases nonlinearly with the volume fraction of nanoparticles. The thermal conductivity of MgO-EG nanofluids is larger than that of nanofluids containing the same volume fraction of TiO2, ZnO, Al2O3 and SiO2, maybe due to its lowest viscosity among the tested metallic oxide nanofluids. Thermal conductivity enhancement of MgO-EG nanofluids appears weak dependence on temperature from 10 to 60°C, and the enhanced ratios are almost constant. Viscosity measurements show that MgO-EG nanofluids demonstrate Newtonian behavior, and the viscosity significantly decreases with temperature. The thermal conductivity and viscosity increments of nanofluids are higher than those of the existing classical models for the solid-liquid mixture.

Abstract The influence of some groundwater occurring ions was investigated on As(V)-sorption by agglomerated nanoparticles (40-50 nm) of synthetic hydrous iron(III)-chromium(III) mixed oxide (NHICO). Solubility tests of NHICO suggested that it could be used safely for As(V) removal at pH = 6.4 ± 0.1 by agitation (speed: 350 ± 5 rpm) for an hour. Kinetic data obtained in the presence of applied ions for this reaction were well described by the pseudo-second order equation (0.98 < r2 <1.00, 0.04 < x2 < 0.18). Good agreement of the equilibrium data with the Freundlich isotherm (0.96 < r2 <1.00, 0.41 < x2 < 6.30) suggested that the NHICO surface was heterogeneous. Adequate fitting of the data with the Redlich-Petterson (0.96 < r2 <1.00, 0.65 < x2 < 7.83) isotherm with g < 1.0 confirmed the conclusion drawn. The positive enthalpy (ΔH0) and entropy (ΔS0) changes indicated that the endothermic As(V)-sorption reaction in the absence/presence of ions was driven by an entropy increase at the solid-liquid interface. Negative values of free energy change (ΔG0) indicated that the reaction spontaneity increased with increasing temperature. The sorption of As(V) by NHICO occurred via an ion-exchange mechanism (mean sorption energy, EDR = 8.98 to 11.47 kJ. mol-1) involving surface M-OH groups.

The presence of microconstituents (MCs) in the environment has become an emerging concern to scientists and engineers. Sorption is one of the important removal mechanisms for MCs in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) since there is significant sludge production. The purpose of this study is to explore sorption kinetics and isotherms of MCs onto primary sludge. Three MCs, bisphenol-A (BPA), 17-α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) and triclosan (TCS), were chosen for this study. They are hydrophobic and have low vapor pressure, which makes sorption a potential removal mechanism. Both sorption kinetics and isotherm experiments were conducted using primary sludge collected from a local municipal WWTP. The time to equilibrium was around 7 h for all chosen MCs. A pseudo second-order rate model was better at describing the sorption rate than a pseudo first-order rate model. Linear sorption isotherm models were found to fit the experimental data, and the solid–liquid partitioning coefficients for BPA, EE2 and TCS were 81, 728 and 6,407 L/kg.
